Garden Sculpture, Lawn / Yard Art, Outdoor Decor, Handmade Mermaid, Metal
Make a splash in your garden or lawn with this alluring mermaid. Originating far from the sea, she is handcrafted from industrial steel by artist Chris Crooks at his studio in the Santa Rita Mountains of Arizona. The mythic beauty, who seems poised to sound a note on her conch shell, is given the aged, rust-red patina of an undersea treasure. You can position her three sections to create the illusion that she is swimming through your landscape, and the included, 6 metal stakes keep her securely anchored. Handmade in Tucson, Arizona. Made from 16 gauge mild steel. Head: 18″ H x 25″ W; Conch: 12″ H x 9″ W; Tail: 14″ H x 29″ W. Rust patina will become darker and richer with age. About the Artist I started out from my garage. As the business grew, and my wifes and neighbors’ patience stretched, it was time to move to an industrial space. There I can bang and grind at all hours of the night. It’s 1,000 square feet of pure metalworking nirvana. Chris Crooks has taken a somewhat winding road to get to where is nowcreating imaginative lawn sculptures inspired by the southwest landscape he calls home. After graduating from the Art Institute of Philadelphia, Chris worked in advertising, then ran a printing business with his wife, while painting during his free time. Eventually, he began designing and making his first metal sculpture collection from his studio nestled in the foothills of the Santa Rita mountains, just outside Tucson. I always wanted to make a living doing something genuinely enjoyable, he says. To get up in the morning raring to go, and never having enough time to do everything you want to do.
